IMG Academy Girls 4x800m Relay Team Makes U.S. High School History with Record-Breaking Season Sweep

Historic Sweep: IMG Girls 4x800m Relay Wins All Four Majors
IMG Academy’s girls 4x800m relay team cemented its place in U.S. high school track and field history by becoming the first-ever team to win all four major national meets — the Millrose Games, New Balance Nationals Indoor, Penn Relays, and New Balance Nationals Outdoor — in a single season.
The team, made up of Aurora Bertelsen Del Solar, Mackenzie Winning, Danielle Graham (juniors), and Anyla Robinson (sophomore), also broke two national records, making them the fastest girls 4x800m team in high school history.
National Records and College-Level Times
At the Millrose Games, they posted a Florida No. 1 all-time indoor time of 8:55.47.
At New Balance Nationals Indoor, they broke the national record with an 8:46.04.
At the Penn Relays, they went even faster — 8:40.51, a time that would have won at the collegiate level.
The streak concluded with a national title at New Balance Nationals Outdoor.
IMG Director Praises Dedication and Dominance
“This is one of the most talented groups of girls we have seen in the history of high school track and field,” said Mark Napier, IMG Academy Director of Track and Field. “To have only started training together in August and already broken national records is a testament to their commitment and the IMG developmental system.”
All four athletes are returning to IMG Academy next year, making the possibility of more records and titles very real.
